After registering with a non-refundable amount of Rs. 5000, the participant is required to fundraise an amount of at least Rs. 1,20,000 before the 26th of December, 2017 to qualify. Participants are expected to raise more than this qualifying amount, and any money raised over this minimum Rs. 1.2 lacs will also go directly to The Batti Project to light up homes.

Of this amount, Rs. 60,000 will cover the rider’s tour costs, and the remaining amount will go towards lighting up tribal homes in remote corners of Arunachal Pradesh. We light up a home for every Rs. 10,000 we raise for the cause. This means every qualified rider will be able to support at least 6 homes, but ideally more.

The first 25 participants to reach this target will book a final spot on the tour.

Everything – from the designated meeting point in Dibrugarh on January 25th till departure from Dibrugarh on February 4th – is included in the tour costing.

To register, you will need the following:

The orange button below will lead to the BitGiving page to start your campaign. You will then have to create a profile on that site using your Facebook login, and then start the campaign. The process is simple and click-through.

After your campaign has been approved, you will get a mail with a link where you can pay Rs. 5000 as registration fee.

Once the registration amount is paid, your campaign will become live and you can share your campaign with your potential funders and supporters!

Your initial fundraising target will be set as Rs. 1,20,000, which is the minimum amount to qualify for the ride. Once that amount is reached, we hope you will continue to raise more funds. You can raise as much as you want, and the target will keep adjusting itself.

International riders have a different procedure to go through. Please write to info@ridetolight.com to register and participate!
